Abstract:

Charles W. Wardell of Trinity, 61, is one of the nation's top six doorknob collectors. In the old days, people were particular about what doorknob to use on their front doors, and it is these antique doorknobs that Wardell collects. Not many have been manufactured since World War II. They can usually be found at flea markets, antique stores, and at sites where buildings are going to be torn down.
